    The Getaway is generally a surprising success--the sound of a band having the intelligence to know when the time has come to move on and having the skill to actually achieve it.

    They’re an easy punchline, in fairness--perennial whipping boys, probably deserving of a break at some point--but when they continue to churn out nonsensical self-parody, Red Hot Chili Peppers’ continued stratospheric success is nothing short of baffling.

    An odd, deliberately unpunchy comeback. [Aug 2016, p.114]
